And Old Trafford chiefs are watching how the 19-year-old gets on with regular football.
But Marseille are keen to step in — and sent one of their top men to check his progress last week.
The deal that took Hannibal to United from Monaco aged just 16 could end up amounting to £10million.
But now Monaco’s big rivals Marseille are looking into the chance of bringing him back to France’s Ligue 1.
United had high hopes for Hannibal.
But he failed to break through quickly and was sent out to develop his skills in the Championship.
That has alerted Marseille and other clubs about the possibility of taking on the young star and giving him a new, bigger stage.
Meanwhile, United could let another youngster leave.
